Women's Cricket World Cup - South Africa

Also nicknamed the Proteas, this team has literally grown up together and make for a real team. They need to be consistent if they want to defeat the opposition. The team has made tremendous progress in the past four years. The combination of youth and experience will give this team the edge over others.

Lizelle Lee is the top scorer of the team. She has been in the international arena for just four years but has managed to make it as the top six-hitter for her team.

Andrie Steyn is in top form. In the recent match against Ireland, she had scored 117 runs off 123 balls. The high morale that comes with such a score is indeed fantastic for the team as well.

Captain Dané van Niekerk has proven to be a match-winner. This right-handed batsman and right-arm leg spin is capable of turning the tables in a jiffy. She made her debut as a leg-spinner and soon proved to be a T-20 opener and an all-rounder.

May 2017 saw Laura Wolvaardt being named as Women’s newcomer of the year at Cricket South Africa’s annual awards. She could be someone to watch out for

They have a couple of match-winners in the captain and Andrie Steyn. Do they have what it takes to go all the way?

The table is currently in a very surprising
situation. Most expected Sri Lanka to show Bangladesh the door. But here they
are still standing up and shining. The tournament is wide open. Today’s match
is between India and Sri Lanka. The stakes are much higher now that Bangladesh
is more feared than before. The teams would not want to risk anything at this
point. Earlier I had said that they might experiment with the lineup and give
everyone a chance. Now it will be more than giving people a chance. They will
strategize. The Indian team will be open to experimentation, but not at the
cost of results.

The untested ones are Deepak Hooda, KL Rahul, and Axar Patel. India has lost to Sri Lanka in
their first encounter of this tournament. They will want to be wary because
another defeat could cost them the tournament itself. So, not all the new
players will see the light today. A lot depends on Rohit Sharma today. Shikhar
Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik will chip in too.…

The tournament is halfway
through. There have been some brilliant performances and some worth forgetting.
The T20 fever has gripped the country with intensity. Come evening, and cricket
fans sit in front of the television, with the phone in their hands. This is to
follow not just the men on the fields but also their very own fantasy team that
they have created on the Fantain App.
Let’s have a look at how the eight teams have played so far.
